Title: Rough Day


Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. – Matthew 10:32


What a day for Jesus. Jesus was arrested. Jesus was tried, unfairly convicted by a crowd, and beaten by a group of Roman soldiers. A crown of thorns was attached to His head and made to carry a heavy wooden cross between 15-30 minutes (1/2 mile). Mocked and spit on by the crowd who watched—then nailed to this cross—stabbed with a spear. Stripped of clothing and left hanging till dead.


Oh, and He asked his father to forgive them.

All that for us. Today, we acknowledge that Christ has risen. He has risen indeed. Death has been defeated, the guilt of past sins is cleansed, and our future is secure. 


Real Men acknowledge the resurrection of Christ.
